Former President Donald Trump is set to hold an indoor rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, just one week after surviving an attempted assassination. The rally, scheduled for July 20, will feature Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who was recently announced as Trump's running mate.
The decision to hold the rally indoors at the Van Andel Arena comes after Trump was grazed in the ear by a gunman at an outdoor rally in Pennsylvania, resulting in one fatality and two injuries. Secret Service officials have advised against outdoor events for security reasons.
Despite the recent attack, Trump made a public appearance at the Republican National Convention on Monday, where he received a warm welcome from supporters. He listened to speeches by ordinary Americans advocating for his return to the White House, showing resilience in the face of adversity.
This rally marks Trump's first campaign appearance with Vance as his vice presidential candidate, signaling a united front in their bid for the presidency. The event is expected to draw a large crowd of supporters eager to hear Trump's message and show their solidarity.
As the former president continues his campaign trail, the rally in Michigan serves as a testament to his determination and unwavering commitment to his political goals. Despite the challenges he has faced, Trump remains steadfast in his pursuit of leadership and support from the American people.
